Air India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is investigating an incident in which a flight-control system briefly loses three hydraulic systems before normal operation resumes, according to a preliminary probe report. The report also notes that the pilot-in-command undergoes a psychoactive substance test afterward.
Multiple outlets describe additional in-flight disturbances, including altitude-related issues, along with injuries to passengers and significant cabin damage. The investigation indicates the crew decides to continue to Delhi after assessing the situation.
Outlet reporting focuses on different aspects of the preliminary findings. One source highlights the hydraulic loss and pilot drug-test result, while another emphasizes the operational impact of multiple hydraulic failures, the resulting passenger injuries and cabin damage, and the ongoing role of the investigation bureau in examining contributing factors.
